A/HRC/39/18 equality, interdependence, mutual interest and cooperation among all States, as well as to encourage the observance and realization of human rights” (art. 3 (3)). In particular, they “have the duty to take steps, individually and collectively, to formulate international development policies with a view to facilitating the full realization of the right to development” (art. 4 (1)). More importantly, to address inequalities among countries, States should take sustained action and cooperate to promote more rapid development of developing countries, and to provide the latter with appropriate means and facilities to foster their development (art. 4 (2)). Cooperation to eliminate obstacles to development includes the duty to “take resolute steps to eliminate the massive and flagrant violations of the human rights of peoples and human beings” (art. 5). Finally, the implementation of the right to development includes the formulation, adoption and implementation of policy, legislative and other measures at the national and international levels (art. 10). 47. One of the purposes of the United Nations is to achieve international cooperation in solving international problems. This includes cooperation to achieve “higher standards of living, full employment, and conditions of economic and social progress and development”, as well as “universal respect for, and observance of, human rights and fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion”.27 The Universal Declaration of Human Rights affirms international cooperation as a means of realization of everyone’s economic, social and cultural rights indispensable for human dignity and free development of personality (art. 28). The Universal Declaration of Human Rights also recognizes that “everyone is entitled to a social and international order in which the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration can be fully realized” (art. 28). 48. A social and international order that enables the full realization of human rights requires an international economic order based on equity, sovereign equality, interdependence, common interest and cooperation among all States and international solidarity, 28 which shall “make it possible to eliminate the widening gap between the developed and the developing countries”. 29 Equitable global governance is necessary to achieve this goal. The 2017 consolidated report of the Secretary-General and the High Commissioner for Human Rights on the right to development pointed out that longstanding asymmetries in global governance are an important challenge to the realization of the right to development. “The under- or non-representation of developing countries in key forums on global governance undermines the effectiveness of such forums … Without more inclusive, democratic and participatory decision-making processes …, those absent or whose voices are less well heard will remain on the margins of the benefits of development” (see A/HRC/36/23, para. 41). The 2030 Agenda includes a target to “ensure enhanced representation and voice for developing countries in decision-making in global international economic and financial institutions in order to deliver more effective, credible, accountable and legitimate institutions” (target 10.6) and “broaden and strengthen the participation of developing countries in institutions of global governance” (target 16.8). These targets are to be assessed on the basis of the “proportion of members and voting rights of developing countries in international organizations” (indicators 10.6.1 and 16.8.1).30 To these ends, States have created bodies such as the Board of the Green Climate Fund, which has an equal number of members from developing and developed country Parties, including representatives of relevant United Nations regional groupings and representatives from small island developing States and least developed countries. 31 27 28 29 30 31 10 Charter of the United Nations, Arts. 1 (3), 55 (a) and (c) and 56.
